Patch cable te connectivity 0-1711735-3 — 3 m S/FTP CAT6 halogen-free

Shielded patch cable from te connectivity, model 0-1711735-3, 3 meters long. The S/FTP CAT6 construction combines pair-level foil shielding with an overall braided screen to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable Gigabit Ethernet performance. Halogen-free jacket material reduces smoke density and corrosive gases in case of fire, making the cable suitable for environments with stricter safety requirements. The 3 m length provides flexibility for rack- and desk-level connections in server rooms, office LANs and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP CAT6 design ensures improved immunity to crosstalk and external EMI compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting reliable data transmission at Gigabit speeds. The halogen-free outer jacket enhances safety by minimizing hazardous fumes during combustion. A flexible yet robust construction allows straightforward routing in patch panels and switch cabinets while offering mechanical durability for frequent reconnections. The cable meets typical electrical and mechanical expectations for CAT6 performance in commercial and industrial network environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, routers and patch panels in server rooms and data centers
• Office local area network (LAN) horizontal and patching installations
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity
• Installations where halogen-free materials are preferred for fire safety

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP (shielded foil per pair + overall braid)
• Category: CAT6, suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 3 m
• Conductor: stranded copper for patch use (flexible)
• Jacket: halogen-free material
• Connector: RJ45 terminated at both ends
• Shielding: pair-level foil plus overall braid for EMI reduction

How to use

Route the 3 m patch cable between network equipment such as switches, patch panels and workstations, ensuring connectors are fully seated in RJ45 ports until the latch clicks. Avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for CAT6 to preserve signal quality. For shielded installations, ensure both ends are connected to properly grounded metal ports or panels to achieve the intended EMI protection. Regularly inspect connectors and jacket for damage and replace the cable if shielding or conductor integrity is compromised.

Usage recommendations

Use this S/FTP CAT6 halogen-free patch cable in applications where reduced electromagnetic interference and improved fire-safety characteristics are required. For best performance, pair the cable with shielded RJ45 jacks and properly grounded metal patch panels, and avoid routing alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference.
